I have to ask this,I'm from eastern orygun.why is it when most folks on here talk about coming out west to hunt they automatically think they need a magnum rifle?i don't understand the eastern thinking here
had to reply to this one.... For me when I asked this question the first time years ago... it was simply because I was so excited about going out west to Elk hunt... I want to talk about everything.... I ended up taking a Magnum... a 338 WN because I could shoot bug holes with it and it was one of my favorite guns with nice wood... I also took a Plastic stocked 30-06 as my back up if the weather got wet.... (Horse back hunt)
I do think a lot of the talk about people from the east going out west to elk hunt and what round to take is simply excitement and people want to talk...
